Ditch the front derailleur! We’ll bet you spend most of your time in your middle ring anyway. Ditching the front derailleur means: less handlebar clutter less drivetrain parts less maintenance Increased ring clearance over obstacles and drops lighter bike 1x10 and 1x11 systems make a ton of sense for those riding 27.5/650b and 29” wheel bikes. The NSB 1x Variable Tooth Chainrings uses a ‘Thin-Thick’ variable tooth thickness mated with a standard chainring tooth profile to help retain the chain on the front ring during all types of riding. By increasing the tooth thickness on half of the ring’s teeth, the chain is given less room to move and virtually eliminates chain drop when running a single front chainring. ...
At NSB we believe in earning our turns, sometimes however, the climb up can be pretty epic. To help us (and you if you need it) out, we have created the "Biggie." With 40 teeth of precision CNC pleasure, we're stoked to make the ride up just a little easier.

Kostya kills it on a BMX. He also tends to break his frames with surprising regularity. So over the winter he worked with Brian Kelly to make a custom one off BMX. In case you don’t know who Brian is, he’s the man who designed the Cove Shocker, STD, G-Spot and is now making custom steel frames. From Kostya: It started about 6 months ago, and was driven partly by curiosity, partly by financial need, and partly by a desire to try something new and challenging. At this particular point in time, I found myself inspecting my frames and finding hairline cracks along weld joints after, at most, six months of building them up fresh. This is entirely understandable,...
